1. Offshore Trusts

An offshore trust is a very simple agreement that helps put some distance between you and your hard earned assets. A trust is simply a legally binding agreement between two parties - grantor and trustee. The grantor "grants" control over specified assest and property to trustee, who is then responsible for them. Beneficiaries are listed in trust, who will "benefit" from assests being entrusted. Often this is in form of receiving assets upon death of grantor, or by receiving profits generated by assets listed.

The main point is that this agreement helps separate grantor - you - from these assets in a legal sense, making it more difficult for someone to take them from you. By moving trust offshore, there is an added layer of protection. If you've ever worried about a frivolous lawsuit destroying all you've worked for in your internet business, this is certainly a form of asset protection you'll want to look into.

2. Offshore Incorporation

There are many benefits for internet marketer who chooses to incorporate offshore. Protecting your privacy from prying eyes of an ever more invasive government - especially in area of online information, legally limiting amount of taxes you pay on your online income, and protecting your business against lawsuits are just a few of ways an offshore corporation or IBC can benefit internet marketer.

Properly planned and executed, forming an offshore corporation need not be any more expensive or time consuming than forming a corporation within your own borders. Be sure to deal with a legitimate and established firm when establishing your IBC, make sure your asset protection needs are being met and that all of your questions are answered.
